Answer:

In subduction of one plate over another on the basis of weight

Explanation:

When two plates moving and colliding, the plate with higher mass will subduct below the plate with lower weigh and lighter would remain above. generally continental types of plates are lighter in weight and oceanic plates are heavier.

Ex:- The collision of Eurasian plate and Indian plate. Indian plate is below and Eurasian plate above and formation of Himalaya

HELP PLEASE !!
Umnica [9.8K]
If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?
BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz


2. Period: 1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

The frequency of this light wave is 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s
